We have lived in quite a few major cities in the United States and beyond and we always make a point to put our kids in gymnastics at the best local gym we can find. In fact, I am the type of parent that tries all the extra-curricular programs I can find for my kids! 🤣 Power in Motion has been extremely impressive compared to our typical extra-curricular experiences for the following reasons:
Individual attention: the caring teachers carefully track the progress of each child. They communicate weekly progress to parents when they can find you after class. Kids are truly coached and taught one-on-one, rather than casually as a group. Milestones are recognized. The kids truly make real progress!! All the teachers are kind and encouraging-very caring! Kids do not slip through the cracks-not even quiet ones.
Lesson Quality: weekly classes are planned out to the smallest detail with such an amazing variety of skill work, activities, and equipment. There is never boring downtime. Time is not wasted. You get such terrific value for what you are paying for! Kids have a ton of fun while truly getting stronger and more coordinated.
Inclusion: There is something for everyone at this gym-even for dancers, babies, and adults! With great popularity the classes fill up; but then they continue to expand the gym to allow more children opportunities to join!
Best facility: super clean and well-cared for. Beautiful design.
Inventiveness- love that the owners are creative by adding such things as a huge indoor slide and mini foam pit for the toddlers.
*Safe- children’s safety is clearly kept top priority.
Organized: all of the policies, communications, and routines are well thought out and run smoothly.
In summary, Power in Motion is a phenomenal gift to southwest Michigan and even beyond. In a community so focused on developing children-this is a remarkable gem that you might only dream to see in a very large city. The owners are amazing people and heroes for translating a vision into reality so far and above what we could hope for to benefit our children in this area. My kids have gained a ton of self-confidence because they believe in and support every child. So thankful and lucky to be part of the Power in Motion community!...

◇ They offer classes for boys and girls starting at 8 weeks old all the way up through adult, including movement focused classes for babies, gymnastics for all ages (even adult clinics!), ninja classes for ages 4 1/2+, freestyle tumbling for 6+, cheerleading classes/clinics for 6+. They even offer the opportunity for competition, with a girls gymnastics team, a boys gymnastics team, and a competitive cheer team!
¤ They also offer a wide variety of dance classes. They have preschool classes for ages 2-5, recreational classes for 6+ that teach basics to advanced skills and techniques, along with singularly focused ballet (7+), modern (8+), little hoppers (hip hop for 5-7), and hip hop (7+) classes, and even classes for 18+ in modern dance, ballet/tap, and tap/jazz.
♡ On top of all of this, they constantly have all sorts of events, like kid's night out, open gym (for all ages, just for toddlers, and sensory open gym for special needs children), birthday parties, and field trips! Anyone can join these events, with or without a membership, although most require preregistration and fees differ for non-members.
☆ They are currently in the process of remodeling the bathrooms and expanding the gym, the viewing area, and the parking lot. Things are only getting...
Read moreI have taken my 2 kids, both under 5, to this place for over a year to dance classes, lil-ninja, open toddler gym, parent tot, and another class which I’m forgetting the name. The place seems to be getting wiped down and cleaned constantly which is awesome for obvious reasons related not only to pandemic but just dirty little kids running around sweating and being snotty. The staff do a great job of accommodating disabilities, hearing and physical, and the different childrens dispositions each and every time. The staff always call the children by their names which is great for my little ones to become self aware. One of my daughters claims her favorite princess is one of the staff members here, so what more can I say. This place is fantastic. The prices seem more than reasonable with appropriate discounts for multiple classes and children. My only recommendation would be for step stools in the bathrooms for the little kids to wash their hands and get up on the toilet but that’s it. The bathrooms have always been clean and smell free when I’ve gone and they have “family” bathroom which is nice because I’m a man and my kids are little girls so getting them to use the bathroom with my help as their learning is really nice. Everything is padded and safe for little kids and parents to have a fun and run around and fall safely and be stress free. If you want to check it out open gym is super great...
